Constant Vigilance #4: Friday the 3rd, Morning. Serenity Cove.

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

Today, the class meets on the beach, to accomadate the student who has a bit of an aquatic problem at the moment. The Doctor set out beach blanket and towels, and has hauled the holoprojector out on a cart.

"Pass forward your requests I asked for, thank you. As I let you know, we're switching things around a bit. Vampires and werewolves will be at a later date. Today is simply 'Close Encounters of the Unattractive Kind'. Now, please remember, that it's not so much that I find these species particularly unpleasant, it's just we might as well show some of the more unsavory aliens out in the world. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that. I'll be taking questions today, but no lecturing today. It's called close encounters for a reason. You'll be talking to the projections, trying to gather what you can from them. Ask them whatever. Remember they can't actually hurt you, but please only antagonize them if you're being terribly clever about it. There is no assignment for next week. Time for you all to put on your 'first contact' thinking caps. The projector will be sending out three different aliens. Talk to at least one, please."

The Doctor smiled, then turned on the projector. Three forms appeared...

"I have proposed unleashing a virus that will eradicate them."

"Eradicate? But... won't that kill everything --- including your people?"

Phoebe was shaken by this idea and she wondered why the nice Doctor had let something like this into his class.

"A virus that will only target the humans," the Silurian said. "Other forms of life will be preserved."

"So, it's okay with your people to wipe an entire species out?"

That didn't sound right.

"The apes have done nothing but harm. Their only existence should be in servitude, if even that!"

Re: Projection #2

[sensethevisions]

She didn't understand why, but the idea of servitude didn't sit well with her as she didn't understand it.

"Why do you call the humans apes?"

"They are mere steps away from being apes," the Silurian said. "Time has only made them worse."

Phoebe had backed away a little. "There are some humans here that are not like that."

"A calculated loss," it replied, simply.
